Microsoft's E3 press conference today was littered with new Kinect functions—everything from officiating disputes to castle wrecking. The most unusual? Actual fitness coming to the device.

Nike's Stefan Olander was on hand to present "the future of fitness" through Kinect. Nike+ on Kinect will use the device's camera to analyze body movement "better than the human eye" and apply Nike's experience-assessing pro athletes in order to provide personalized analytics. Nike+ is expected to be available for Kinect during the holiday 2012 season.

For more traditional Kinect uses, Microsoft demonstrated functionality in a handful of titles during the event: Splinter Cell Blacklist, Wreckateer, Matter, Dance Central 3, and both EA's Madden and FIFA franchises. While the full range of how Kinect integrates with these games was not revealed, the following uses were showcased:

Splinter Cell Blacklist

Kinect voice commands demonstrated. A player calls out "Hey you!" and the soldier comes over to check. A perfect setup for Fisher to pull him over a ledge to his death.

Additional voice commands such as calling in a missile strike were showcased.

EA's Madden and FIFA franchises

Kinect voice commands allow you to make substitutions or change formations without stopping the game.

As Ars' Kyle Orland reported, "Wow... if you curse at the referee, the game actually recognizes it. That's.. interesting."

NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana was on hand to demonstrate Kinect audibles in Madden. As Orland noted, "'Flanker dig,' 'Crabtree,' 'Streak.' These commands from Montana do things, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what they are."

Wreckateer

The game is a Kinect-powered castle destroying game. Users can pull a giant crossbow back to launch projectiles. While the shots are in mid-air, users can control them with spin or by putting their arms out like an airplane.

Ars commenters were quick to notice a comparable title. From Orland: "It's not just you, commenter: 'Is it just me, or was Wreckateer just a 3-D Angry Birds?'"

Matter

Gore Verbinski (director of The Ring and Pirates of the Caribbean) is behind this title, specifically made for Kinect and due in 2013.

Not much else was revealed about Matter. Orland described the displayed footage as "abstract shapes flying through futuristic scenes."

Dance Central 3

Expect similar gameplay, so for excitement Microsoft went to the celebs. Usher came out to perform a recent single, with a Kinect sitting in front as he danced. No confirmation if he was actually scoring well (or even playing for that matter).
